Revised Manuscript Received September 26, 1994® abstract: The crystallographic structure has been determined of a complex between a nonadecapeptide from the fifth epidermal growth factor (EGF5) domain of human thrombomodulin and human D-PheProArg-a-thrombin. The peptide corresponds to amino acid residues Glu408—Glu426 of thrombomodulin and contains the third disulfide loop of EGF5 and its linker to EGF6. The structure was refined at 3.0-A resolution to an I?-value of 0.146. There are two thrombin molecules in the asymmetricunit, and the structure in the crystal is a 2: 1 thrombin complex. The foldingof the peptide corresponds closely to the third disulfide loop of EGF2 of factor Xa (rmsA= 1.0 A). The peptideis squeezed between cofacial electropositive fibrinogen recognition exo sites of the two thrombin molecules. Since the peptide has a total of seven aspartic and glutamic acid residues, the principal binding interaction with thrombin is electrostatic. A major hydrophobic association, which is highly directional in such a pronounced electrostatic environment, involves a TyrlleLeu triplet of the peptide and Phe34, Leu65, Tyr76, and Ile82 (chymotrypsinogen numbering) of one thrombin molecule. The tyrosine of the peptide is sandwiched between the thrombin aromatic rings and is most likely the prime source of the specificity of the thrombomodulin—thrombin interaction.Two distinct anticoagulantmechanisms are triggered by contact with cell surfaces. One involves surface heparin-like molecules that function to accelerate the inactivation of coagulation proteases by antithrombin III (Rosenberg & Rosenberg, 1984). The other involves thrombomodulin, a thrombin-binding cell surface receptor that alters the mac-romolecular specificity of thrombin by decreasing its ability to catalyze clot formation while at the same time converting thrombin into a potent protein C activator (Esmon & Owen, 1981; Esmon, 1989). Activated protein C functions as an anticoagulant by inactivating factors Va and Villa (Nesheim et al., 1982), two regulatory proteins of the coagulation pathway that participate in the activation of factors X and IX, respectively. Formation of the thrombin—thrombomodu-lin complex directly curtails the capacity of thrombin to
